Product Description

Lactic works from the outside in to plump the skin, improve moisture retention, and add a natural glow.

Working on the surface, it is especially beneficial in treating skin tone, texture, and pigmentation.

Lactic's unique ability to draw moisture toward the surface of the skin makes it ideal for individuals whose skin dries out easily.

This treatment also effectively combats acne, leaving a wonderfully smooth and clear complexion. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant.

The Lactic 30ml and 100ml are ideal for full facial applications.

For specific areas, or spot treatments, the Lactic 50 Roll-on would be best.

As a licensed esthetician, I am cringing reading the reviews of some of the users of this product.
"Applying and leaving on" "Applying 3 times a week" "Using as a daily exfoliator"
If your not going to seek the advice of your dermatologist or esthetician, please buy a book on Chemical Peels to understand how they work.
Applying more that once every 10 days will thin out your skin and will cause problems down the line. The whole point of "Peeling" is to clear away the old dead skin cells and allow new ones to surface. It takes your skin (depending on age) 20-42 days for brand-new skin cells to work their way up to the surface of the epidermis, if your constantly stripping your damaging your new skin cells. Patience is needed with peels and generally a series of 4-6 are needed depending on your expectations. Always apply spf of 30 or more afterward and before starting with this 50% lactic prime your skin a week before by using 2-5% glycolic wash. And PLEASE seek the advice of your friendly neighborhood dermatologist and/or esthetician before even attempting to peel.
Good luck to you all.
**Oh and regardless of what the manufacturer claims it does not change the "size" of your pores, they may appear smaller because the chemical de-congests the follicle but if you naturally have big pores; this will not shrink them.

I was nervous about doing a chemical peel on my face without a specialist around so I bought one of the gentler formulas to use on my face. I was hoping just to exfoliate some of the dullness from my skin with this, but was surprised at just how much of a difference it made to my facial skin.

My boyfriend who never noticed when I had 6" of hair cut off and my hair dyed from dark brown to red noticed actually asked me what I was doing to my skin the day after I first used this. He said I looked less tired and happier. So I was more than happy with the results.

It not only made the skin look softer any other products I put on for a couple of days after using this seem to be absorbed better so it makes my moisturisers etc seem to work better too. My skin does go a little pink for a few hours after use so I would recommend it as best to use before bed time and to make sure you follow the directions carefully as I could see how it could burn your skin if left on too long. Also make sure you wear lots of sunscreen on your face for the weeks you are using this as I've heard horror stories of home peels sensitizing faces to sun damage and people ending up with brown blotchy faces. OK so you should wear sunscreen on your face all the time but be extra careful while using this.

i am an african american/native american woman with melasma and dark spots from different skin issues. i am a fair skinned woman so everything show on me. I tried the fade creams and finally coughed up money for tri-luma. on it's own, it's ok, but with this lactic acid peel it is FANTASTIC. i don't have sensitive skin, so i use my peel 3 times a week, followed by the tri luma cream. i moisturize and stay out of the sun as much as i can. i have been using it for 3 weeks and my results are great. i would recommend this for people looking for a solution to their hyperpigmentation issues. my skin is very soft now and every week i notice a difference. i will use it for another 3 weeks and take a break. the peel smells kinda funny (it is sour milk smelling) but it is less harsh than the glycolic which i have used as well. i recommend it. for the price, you can't beat it.
